Everyone (Michael Gray , Mashable, Daily Blog Tips, VentureBeat, The Social Path, TechCrunch) wants to talk about the new Digg Toolbar.

Daily Blog Tips has a good description of the new tool bar:
First things first, what is the DiggBar? It is basically an iframed toolbar that was released by Digg this week. The toolbar has two purposes: the first one is to serve as a URL shortener service. The second one is to allow users of the toolbar to interact with the Digg stories in a different way.TechCrunch and Mashable both point out that the new URL shortener in the DiggBar will be especially valuable to Twitter fans.
Not everyone likes it. Mashable thinks Digg is shamelessly copying StumbleUpon and explains the tension (or tries, at least) between Digg and other social networking sites. Michael Gray just plain doesn't like Kevin Rose and wishes a pox on him and on Digg in general (employees not genetically related to Rose included). VentureBeat points out the addition of sponsored links to the tool bar. And Whitney Mitchell thinks Digg should have done this last year.
I guess you can't please everyone...

Does anyone use this? I've been using Digg for nearly a year now, and I haven't bothered downloading it. I don't think they're doing a really good job of letting people know WHY they need it. Just one man's opinion.
